Re: String height

I find with the flatter neck I can get the action very very low, which is how I like it, but

My 340 needs a new nut

Hi, my 89 340/6 MG, owned since new by me, need a new nut , the grooves are too worn and I
could try the "baking soda and glue" trick, but feel she deserves better.

Anyone ever done this themselves?
I try to work on my own guitars if I can.
thanks
